I’ve been wondering about that as the wording in the guidance on gov.uk has changed. It now specifies a test in the country of departure, which differs to previously where a test on departure from the UK covered a return to the UK within 3 days.
Maybe the new guidance presumes a holiday with a stay longer than 3 days?
If not, it’s a complication for same day or short trips.
